After the obtaining the NDC and COD, the owner can purchase a new electric Gramin Sewa vehicle with a capacity for six passengers from an authorised dealer.
The owner must apply online for new registration with documents like the NDC, COD, Aadhar, tax invoice, and other paperwork from the vehicle manufacturer.
The Registering Authority will verify all details and update the vehicle’s registration under the Gramin Sewa Scheme. The new vehicle will receive a permit for the same route as the old one.
Launched in 2011, the Gramin Sewa serves as a means of transport for passengers commuting in rural Delhi. Currently, there are more than 2,000 such services on the roads.
